Early Preview: Sneak Peak of the SEO Book Training Program
So I am beta testing setting up the SEO Book community and training program. A couple issues have come up so far, but generally stuff is looking pretty good. I am still working on fixing a couple details, but to get a preview of the training part you can go here. I am hoping to do an official launch in the coming week unless something major comes up.
As time passes I intend to make the training program richer and deeper and add lots of videos and other content to it. But you can kinda think of the online training program as being a high quality editorially controlled Wikipedia of SEO information, complete with an interactive community forum. :)

Nice work Aaron - lots of great info. Must have been quite an undertaking.
Well the basis for starting it was months of notes and then SEO Book. And then formatting it and writing it took a couple months.
This is VERY cool...
Having a forum is a great idea. I'm tired of WMW editing my links to your articles. :)
Great work. Sign me up!
Thanks for the vote of confidence. I hope to launch it pretty soon. :)
Very cool, I actually stumbled upon it last night when I did a site search for something. Looks like there is going to be some great info there..
Top work Aaron! Y
our commitment and dedication to the cause knows no bounds and all your effort is truly appreciated. =))
Just wanted to say what Aaron's set up in the training program is really great and the forum is going to be extremely popular. Time for a new hub.
digging it so far
when I'm in community or training, can you put a link back to the tld somewhere?
Yes... was trying to figure out how to do that just a few minutes ago. :)
Looking forward to it!
aaron,
when i try to go to the community i get an error that says i do not have sufficient privelages. I am a registered member of seobook, but not a customer who purchased the book - is this the reason or is your community simply not launched yet?
i will be paying for your new subscription service, just curious if I encountered a bug.
thx,
shawn
Hey Aaron - I am getting the same error message in the community forum. What do I need to do?
The community forum is only for paid members...I have not publicly launched that part yet.
Shawn, I believe the community section as well as certain parts of the training modules are limited to paid membership to the Training Program. But yeah, I get the message too, I will be sure to resolve that for myself on April 15th.
The community forums and training articles are most of basis for the training program. I might add more stuff in over time too.
Thanks for helping promoting know-how in SEO.
Maybe keyworddiscovery.com and other players will sponsor parts of it once the traffic gets going :)
I doubt I will have sponsors in the paid part of the site, due to conflict of interests they bring. I am going to set the price point high enough that I don't need to upsell and get affiliate commissions and maximize everything else.
As an owner of seobook and an AW convertee, I'm looking forward to this latest addition to the range of services.
Would just like to ask Aaron, why aren't you collecting prospective customers details (inform me when ready) rather than showing a 'coming soon' page?
I really just got going on launching everything. I feel the conversions will come if people want to. I might lose a few hundred dollars or a few thousand dollars by not collecting info, but I am trying to get everything in the background up to speed. To me that is the more important piece...making sure stuff works. :)
sure, well good luck with it mate. Although I've a feeling luck's not required :)
Seriously, I have no idea how you find the time and drive to work as much as you do Aaron. I need just a fraction of your dedication. The fact you haven't chosen to spend that time doing affiliate marketing, arb or something similar that I know you could have made millions in shows a lot about your character. This new training program looks awesome and I'm sure it will do well. :)
Thanks Shawn. Please shoot me an email or IM...there is a question I have been meaning to ask you. :)
Whoa! You're on fire. That was fast. I mean from the survey to implementation.
I got exactly what I wanted when I filled out the survey. A course like teaching sells on SEO.
Great work Aaron. I think I will enroll.
Thanks for filling out the survey. :)
Great stuff, Aaron!
I am now an honorary student. I am the SEO grasshopper. :)
Teach me! :)
Now back to Guitar Hero!
Hello Aaron,
This seems to be the answer to your idea when we spoke in Dan T, Pro coaching for seo's class a while back. Great stuff keep up the good work, we always need up-to-date quality training courses.
Blimey Aaron
How on Earth do you manage to produce so much useful content?
I'm sure there must be at least two of you or are you in fact the Wall triplets, or quads?
Brilliant work. Hope the forum starts singing soon.
Best wishes

Hi Dave
I am a quick thinking machine. Thanks for the kind words :)
Whats the new program going to run?
A hybrid of drupal and vbulletin.
what blog module do you use? is this the standard one?
I use many modules...though most of them you can not see publicly from this part of the site.
This part of the site shows the autoresponder module, as well as a custom ad include on some posts. It is a custom theme as well.
Great effort Aaron this looks good and may just be enough for me to convince my employer to pay for a subscription.
The community will be a good resource i'm sure, just make sure to keep it moderated enough, we don't want another forum falling as fast as DP.
Hey Aaron, that's an awesome initiative!
I can't wait to learn more, i just hope that the membership price is not too high :)
I've already started to spread the word between collegues :)
Hi Aaron, it's certainly great news to have this resource available from one of the most respected experts in the field. I would like to ask a question though, since I work as the in house SEO for a large website (400,000+ pages) would there be a lot of advanced SEO knowledge? or will it be more focused towards basic SEO?
Thanks.
I think I try to cover both. But it really depends on what you consider what. I think it is more advanced than anything else out on the market right now though.
That's great, am looking forward to the official launch!
I did just officially launch it. :)
